A natural binder derived from protein is applied to the fabric, ensuring even adsorption of the dye. Subsequently, a small amount of chemical dye is blended, which aids in colorfastness (resisting fading from light, sweat, and washing, and enhancing the stability of the pigment) without the need for a mordant, resulting in naturally beautiful colors expressed on the fabric. Natural dyes are not composed of a single element, unlike chemical dyes. A single color may contain multiple pigments, both subtle and strong. The way these pigments reflect light creates a soft, nuanced color that is pleasing to the eye. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet deep and gentle tones of botanical dyes. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly method that generates less water pollution and consumes less water during the dyeing process, making it gentle on both the earth and people.
